Dr. Pimple Popper Is Getting Her Own Show on TLC — Here Are the Details

Why people love watching videos of pimples being popped is one of the greatest mysteries of our time. What's clear is that people do love it. Dr. Pimple Popper, the Youtube personality of dermatologist Sandra Lee has earned over three million subscribers. Now, these fans will be able to catch blackhead, whitehead, and cyst removals in high def, because TLC is about to launch a Dr. Pimple Popper show.

This Is Zit premieres on January 3 at 10 p.m. ET, according to its Facebook page. It'll feature Lee removing an epidermoid cyst, which pops up when the skin has "turned under and formed a little sac" resembling oatmeal, a hard-boiled egg, or wet newspaper. Eww. But also, so hard to look away from.

"Isn't it absolutely fascinating what comes out of our skin?" she asks in another video for the series. Indeed — fascinating and horrifying. This mixture of fascinating and horrifying is definitely why her videos are so popular, and why people, in general, have a hard time avoiding popping their own blemishes at home.

Lee describes the series in an Instagram video as "behind-the-scenes footage of what I do in my office, how I go about doing it, more explanation of the types of things that I pop out, a lot of my favorite videos, a lot of my top pops... and three never before seen pops are there for you as well." If her videos' popularity is any indication, this show's viewing rates will be off the charts.
